Wow, avoid this place

Wow what a joke. The course conditions were abysmal. I have not played anything so bad. Half the holes barely had grass. You could hit the fairway and it just be dirt. Grass was patching. Greens and area around the greens were terrible. What an badly maintained course. I’ve never requested a refund from a course to do quality but wow this would definitely deserve. Avoid it

Challenging. Bring Lots of Balls!!!

This is a beautiful and immaculately maintained course. But it is hard — even for an experienced player (which I’m not). Don’t expect to play 18-holes with a single sleeve of balls!

First Time Playing

First time there.

Check in was ok; the young guy at the counter was smug and not accommodating. No NCGA rate was a little surprising. Cart was pretty beat up with the seat coming apart at the seams. Driving range is nice! Starter was just a figure hanging out in the shack (staff needs to perk up!).

Played the Mountain and Canyon Courses. Don’t need driver on a lot of holes. Amazing views on both. Greens superb! But the fairways were bare in a lot of spots and tee boxes especially on the Canyon course, just neglected and beat to crap. Greens crew was all over the place with their carts. Some bunkers were under repair and the ones that didn’t had way too much sand in them IMO.

Overall worth the drive. Reminiscent of a few courses I’ve played (Tehama, The Preserve, San Juan Oaks and Crazy Horse).
